Correct, they were pushed to go faster because as each permit was pulled, AT&T strung fiber on the pole and beat them to the punch.
Go faster Google said...so the contractor had to go more shallow. When the roads were resurfaced, some had already been over paved to the point the curb was even to the road. Gas mains, Sewer Mains, Water Mains would need repair. Unfortunately, this is digging up the road to repair, on emergency. Google just never restored services fast enough to these homes. AT&T was already there so people would quit them over extended outages. So the contractor was to be at 16-18". They ended up somewhere between 6"-10", in the last few projects. Unfortunately, one of the main spans was on a road that had to be resurfaced. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. The City Road Engineer could care less after having to deal with it. 21k homes passed, 11k homes could get service when offered for sale to me (10k homes no longer had service due to resurfacing), and when I declined, they ended up paying the City to abandon it.
